And yeah, win a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Hobbed in Jeremiah getting after it right now. I think
Jeremiah football. Yeah, but he could probably play quarterback for
Oregon in the second half. Oregon in a route. Mike,
Now listen, I got I gotta say, listen, here we are,
and I want, first of all, I want all of
you all to have some respect because the PAC twelve
(01:22):
dies tonight. I do like that. This is this is
PA twelve. This is the end of the PAC twelve. Okay,
that's like Texas and Southern expression. But we got it all, y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Jason, it was the end of the Pack twelve when
Larry Scott took over over.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
He walked in, he said, hey, you know what, We've
got some land in San Francisco. Yeah, but killed this
thing a long time ago, Buddy, Tonight is the actual
end though. It's the actual end the pack. The PAC
twelve dies tonight, So have some respect. And this game
so far, the PAC twelve championship game, which is likely
a winning in game. Just as I said all week long,
(01:59):
Washington in a route, I don't need the ten points.
Look at Washington, I said, look, watch what they're gonna
do to Oregon. Tell them you watching, They're not having
hit the wall, they're not running out of gas. Oregon's
living high on the hog. What did I tell you?
It was good at It's exactly how the game is going. Sure, Washington,
right off the jump, that field goal drive, and it
(02:21):
felt like a big air goes out of the balloon
kind of moment when they had to settle for the
field goal. Right, the long protracted drive to start fifteen plays,
goes fifty four yards, takes up half of the first quarter,
and oh, I gotta settle for a field goal. Hi victory, Oregon.
There you go, But here you go, Michael Pennick Junior,
(02:41):
right right as you came in, right as as Rob
and Chris were signing off. It was the first time
all night I'd seen anybody within like a giant halo
of Michael Pennix Junior. You want to talk about clean
Jersey club, Hey, let me just flip this ball down
the field kind of moment time after time after time.
That's what Washington's had tonight, clean Plocket club. It is
(03:04):
a twenty to ten lead for the Huskies. And yes,
I said all week long, Oregon in a route, I
still have the rest of the Pac twelve. You got
thirty minutes of existence to try to get this back. Now,
does it start crumbling like heinz Field did behind Hines
ward as running down towards zero. Let's look, look, I said, Oregon,
(03:28):
A route. I gotta own it, and right now it's
not happening. A boy, if you're getting ten with Washington,
you're feeling really good. Yeah, ridding the tea leaves though
all week long and you're looking at it all right,
Pennix Junior. A lot of questions as to whether he's
been injured these last couple of weeks. Right, hasn't moved
the same has hasn't had the same fluidity in his
throwing motion, like a lot of that has been hampered
(03:48):
and they've been eking out wins. So it's like, all right,
the year of living dangerously? When does it topple? They
picked tonight, They picked tonight to that, not tonight, we're
gonna close the PAC twelve. Tonight twelve is closed. I
want to hear the speech that was giving you know what.
We're going down in style. You know what, They'll never
add another name to the black of champions in this conference,
(04:10):
and I want ours to be at the bottom.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'll tell you we're never gonna watch USC lose another
game they shouldn't lose at night on a Saturday to
Oregon State. Never gonna the end of the PAC twelve
and Washington is closing the door. The Arizonas don't get
the screw things. No, Arizona's never gonna make the Rose
Bowl out of the back twelve. But look, the two
biggest things that surprised me so far in the first
(04:34):
half of this game. One you alluded to the first
part at Michael Pennix Junior has all day to throw, right,
He's got all day to throw, and when that happens,
you got some pretty good wide receivers that's going to go.
I'm stunned that they can't get more pressure on him.
I'm stunned about that for Oregon. And the other thing
is that it seems like it's close, right, it seems,
(04:55):
but one of the worst defensive pass interference calls you'll
ever see gay Oregon a first down that allowed them
to score a touchdown near the end of the half
to go in with some kind of momentum. It's an
awful pass interference call. You have the wide receiver the
dB just have hands on each other as they're running.
There's no one would know anything. The ball is overthrown
and it's an easy no call because nothing happened. Refs
(05:16):
through the flag that kept the drive alive for Oregon.
They go in for the touchdowns, so now they're in
striking distance. Now the pack Pack twelve is close. Pack
twelve is we have thirty minutes left. It's not a blowout.
Want people to watch till the end of the pack twelve.
Pack twelve is closing. We don't want people leaving early.
You're staying till the very end, very end tonight. So
those are the two biggest things. Is that it seems like, wow,
okay washing Oregon. It's you watch it had the better
(05:38):
of the play, but both these teams have electric offenses.
Oregon needed that play to not be going in a
halftime saying, man, we're two touchdowns, are worse behind, and
Washington is just working us. So I really, those are
the two biggest things surprised me so far in this game,
because by this point I expected Oregon to be up
by two touchdowns. I thought this this would be a
twenty four to seven game, twenty four to ten game
at halftime. And Oregon's off to the races in the second half. Yeah,
(06:01):
I mean, you've seen with bo Nix some time to
throw and receivers just not getting and breaking containments. As
we've seen on the other side, Washington finding space, scheming
it up to where you got Penis j you're throwing
to open air, right, I mean you've got the deep
ball that he hit down the left sideline. That was
(06:23):
one of those I got no pressure alright, and he
just lobbed it wide. Receiver gets behind the defender by
a good ten yards. Is he didn't get any help
and you saw the defenders do the Spider Man meme
in real time. Anyway, we go, right, a couple of
rushing efforts down in the red zone, so getting a
(06:43):
little bit of contribution there as well. They've moved the
ball well already one hundred and ninety six yards of
total offense. Only stunned a little bit. They've got their
four penalties for thirty yards. But we've got a game, right.
This is why you know with Oregon why they were
nine and a half point favorite. As you're expecting there's
an explosion to be had to happen, right, A couple
(07:05):
of series doesn't a full game make. And and look,
we may be apologizing for the pick again as the
second half wears on, but they did limit despite the
offense and prowess of Washington. You take some moral victories
in those field goals that you forced. Jason Smith Show
with Mike Carbon live from the Tirack dot Com studios.
(07:27):
So again we'll keep you updated on here and get
ready to start the third quarter. And look, most likely
this is a winning game. Obviously, if Washington wins, they
stay in probably for Oregon. If they win, they get
in the playoffs, and then yeah, we close the PAC twelve.
You think herbs is excited about this one this? Oh well,
he says, you know, the Thursday games don't compare to
his other game. Okay, so you know you just tried
(07:48):
to make sure he's excited. Friday game, the same thing,
a Friday PAC twelve championship game, same excitement as a
Saturday night game. That even was more excited him to
call the game people to see his dog that he
travels with you alone. Okay, well, okay, number one, it's
always the dog. Okay, number two, it's Ben. He has
a name. There's a lot. His name is Ben, He's
(08:12):
kirk k name is Ben Paulson.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Dude, that dog eats better than some humans. Okay, probably
eats better than I do. Dog stays five star hotels.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I just like when do you see the dog calling
the second half of this game, he's probably he's just
out of camera shot right now with the headset on,
just ready for the call. He's gonna draft the Patriots
next pick to He's gonna fight Belichick's dog for supremacy.
I mean, look, this is a big show to be
with us tonight because again tonight we are closing the
PAC twelve. The closed tonight, and I am glad. You
(08:45):
know what I'm glad about because I didn't know which
way it would be on this is that it's a
pretty good crowd at Reliant for the game. And you know,
I'm like, okay, well pretty much we talk about Pack
twelve championships. If it sticks in with we mean allegiant history,
allegian field, sorry, and it sticks in with recent history.
You know, there's only a couple thousand people at the
Back twelve Championship, but I'm glad to see there's a
lot of people tonight because they're going out with the
(09:08):
best season arguably the PAC twelve has had overall. When
you talk about how competitive they are and how good
they are, because you're talking about two teams who could
each make the playoff. Now the winner of this game
is going to get in. It's a pretty big deal
for the Pac twelve. Now close it out in style.
A couple of monster teams that can put up points,
a couple of Heisman candidates here bo Nicks was the
(09:31):
favorite before the game kicked off. I cursed him too, man,
I told you bow Nick is gonna win the Heisman.
He still has the second hand. No man, sit. He
tried to go to the deep ball because one of
the things they did is they deferred, you know, kind
of the opening coin toss and everything. So give up
the long drive in the field goal and everybody's mad
about it on social media. Well they scored that touchdown
(09:53):
and now they get the ball first coming out of
the half. So in theory, if you believe in a
thing such as momentum, perhaps they can build on how
they closed out the half. But yeah, it's the last
it's the last. Answers it, man. This halftime entertainment was
that damn tuition battle which wasn't a battle. Mohammed house.
That guy was a tuition to a PAC twelve school.
(10:15):
It was one hundred grand. Uh. It's yeah, that's all
you could. You know, they're closing the schools too. No, dude,
you know, no, the schools always be there. You know,
you can buy the Mountain West for one hundred grand,
you can get like eight you can buy the Mountain West.
You could know you might be able to buy the
last vestiges of whatever, uh, whatever the intellectual properties are
(10:35):
of the PAC twelve conference. What's left in the offices.
I got one hundred grand. But it's you know what,
when when you think about certain things, like your whole
life growing up a sports fan, and the PAC ten
and how great it was, and us and the Rose
Bowl was such a big the granddaddy of them all.
As me growing up in the Middlewest, I'm a big
ten homer, big ten hong. So every year it was
(10:57):
all right, who's gonna run past us? They're playing in
the Rose Bowls. And then you go through the eighties
and the USC and UCLA rivalry, and Washington wins half
of the national championship in nineteen ninety, and you know,
it's still SC UCLA in the nineties, and but then
you start see the rise Desert Swarm in Arizona, Arizona
State and Jake Plumber and then the USC dynasty in
(11:19):
the early two thousands, and then Larry Scott mismanaging the
conference for about a decade, and you know, and then
I get to the point where I go, boy, I
get to be on the air and talk about it.
I hope you had the time of your I'm that
ten year old kid and the eight year old kid
watching Charles White and the Rose Bowl in nineteen seventy nine.
And now I get to talk about the end of
(11:40):
the conference. He gets to blow it up at the
end like disco demolition. But you hit a button and
the conference is over. You know, I think I want
to get a statement by the winning coach that that
reminds me when when Syracuse closed Manley field House and
they went to the Carrier Dome. The last game they
played in Manley field House, and I'm going back aways
was against your Georgetown. They're big runs, you said, Manly,
(12:01):
Manly Man, Manly Field. That's the last man we got
Fran Brown. Now we're going undefeated. We're getting all George's players.
So the last game was against Georgetown, and Georgetown won.
And John Thompson, legendary Georgetown coach, comes in and first
thing he says, the press conferences Manly Field Houses closed right.
(12:23):
It was a huge deal. But Manly Field Houses Club,
we closed it right, big line. We beat So I
want the winning I want the winning coach. Well, you know,
whether it's you know where it's landing or debor to
come out and say, hey, the PAC twelve is closed,
and where the chance PAC twelve is closed? We close
its conference blank, U USC and U C l A
and I we closed this thing. Why next? Was there
(12:45):
a giant extension cord? You know?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Why?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Why is it connected there in the middle of the field.
And he goes and he just pulls the plug and
the lights go off and that's the end of it.
Either that or they get to introduce that Mark Davis
is bringing back John Gruden and they announced him like
a does the winner of this game get to play
the Raiders? You know, if Antonio Pierce is on the sideline,
you can ask him. They actually get to go right
(13:09):
to play for the Raiders, to make the Raiders better?
How about that? Yeah, Michael Pennings Junior bonicks, who who's
peers grabbing right off the field. They'll play them both
back and forth. They'll be like spurry or when he
would yank quarterbacks. You're in for this series. You're in
for this series. So right now, Oregon is taking the
ball to start the second half. They go for it
on fourth and five near midfield and they convert. Bo
(13:31):
Nicks just completed the pass inside the Washington twenty yard line.
Oregon is in business there now inside the ten, trailing
the Huskies twenty to ten. They get on the board
here with the touchdown. Suddenly we got a brand new game,
my ducks. My fourth down play was the same play
they ran I think maybe four or five plays earlier
in the drive and the receiver just didn't see the ball. Yeah,
(13:54):
like he finally broke away from the defender and the
balls landing it. Oh hey, I'm opening them up. Oh
the play's over his hand away. I'm ready. Oh he's open.

fourth down, rolling right against his body, gets in the
end zone for Oregon, and now it's a twenty to
seventeen game. Oregon has come back to turn this into
a field goal game. Washington does have the football, though

and throwing the key away.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Jacc Baby, here we go.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I will remember you.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
The biggest idiots in the history of the planet. Let
the greatest conference in the college degree just self destruct, moron.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Hey, that's conference of Champions. You're saying that God enable
to self destruct and be terrible.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
God. I'm so angry, but you just you just flipped
the switch. I was like in a good mood. I was,
you know, was proving a little bit. I was going
to make fun of you and say, yeah, you're sounding
like the modern Jimmy of the Greek. You know're talking
about your your at your your bets when they're happening
in real time. You know, Like I was going to
do a few things like that, But no, you had
(18:33):
to go to the end of the Pac twelve happening
in front of us right now and my team having
to play It's it's now great great rival Florida State.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Oh man, you'll get Pittsburgh College. Wait till all those
games come into You'll get Syracus. We have to play you.
It'll be awesome. I like that you brought us back
to nineteen ninety two. The Greek was in the eighties.
He was, Yeah, did he not even get to the nineties.
I forget what I was trying to give it him
(19:08):
an extra couple of years on the end day.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
No, my favorite on Jimmy is I still remember this
because I was just when I picked up on how
important gambling was and when he would have a really
bad morning and like he would you know, faith plant.
You know he's written to his into his palm right
there and he started talking about his bets and you're like,
what happened? I was going, we had a bad day. Yeah,
(19:30):
the morning wasn't so good. Had evidently evidently his inside
sources were not so strong going into the going into
those games.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, the final year for him was eighty eight when
he was fired. To think about how insane that was.
The NFL was so anti gambling for so long, but hey,
on a pregame show for a long we got that guy.
I had a professional gambler, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
The guy who is the guy who picked the the
upset between the Jets and the Colt.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Right.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
So, yeah, it's just that is a picture of him
in the morning. You know he'd be you know, he'd
just be so downtrodden if a couple of games went wrong.
It's just so great. The misery, the misery of Jimmy
the Greek getting games wrong. It's really a beautiful, beautiful
(20:20):
thing to remember.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Producers in the host here going, don't go to Jimmy
he's just mad. Don't go to him, don't get just finished.
He's already chasing, going to be any good?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Yeah, yeah, give us, give us more gumble, let's go
go away.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Well, in the spirit of that, we have two quarterbacks
who were going.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
To form more Burger more Munthburger.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Here CD, he's only gonna subtly allude to the gambling.
Hey we got we got Joe Flacco and Matthew Stafford
on Sunday. Weren't they in games in nineteen eighty eight
against each other? I think they go back that far.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
This rivalry, Hey Stafford against two?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Is it's Jeff Flaco?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Yeah, they were. That's that's a long time coming basically
for those two. Well, when I looked at the slate, though,
a slide from Flacco Stafford just dreamy. You know the
quarterback matchups we have, But there's only two games on
Sunday between teams with the winning records, and one of
them involves the Broncos. Like, you're like sitting here, going
(21:25):
that's not really a good slate of games that the
league is trying to sell this weekend, is it. That's
not what you really want to be associated with. Now,
one of those games is fabulous, but it's the only
game that's fabulous on this this coming weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
So how do you feel about that fabulous game?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Well, I love that. I love that fabulous game. I
do think the forty nine ers probably win it because
they're they're not you know, the rest is coming off
the by I think that it probably means more to
them than the Eagles at this point in time, because
the Eagles are you know, they've at least they put
a little distance between themselves and everybody else, and they're
(22:09):
so banged up right now that you get the feeling
that they might want to hold back a little bit.
You know, like if you really want to see Jordan
Davis tear that enormous hamstring off of his body, you know,
like something like that, you probably want to avoid that
and maybe get Dallas godd or you know healthy, that
kind of thing. Those would all those would all be
(22:29):
helpful things for you. And so, you know, and the
Eagles also have had a great run here over the
last five weeks, but there it's been a little bit
precarious at times. The Bill the Bills should have taken
him in that game.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Indeed, but finding ways to win that's what they're they're
doing here, the year of living dangerously. Let's sit out
of the game's for a moment, go to the fun
and excitement that is the Carolina Panthers and the firing
of Frank.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Right data Dapper, the courage of David Tepper that you
know to answer all questions except from Scott Fowler. It's
just a vision. You know, I've known Scott Feller. There's
no one more vicious like Steve Surby.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Got nothing on fo nothing nothing, yo.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Mean right now? Okay, you know Fowler's got you know,
like Foward couldn't be a nicer human being like they're
I guess, Sarah, can I ask you a question? Please?
That kind of thing, you know, really the anti New
York journalist, and that's why he's a journalist in Charlotte.
(23:43):
You know, you know, lots of Southern gentility going on there, right,
and Dave Tepper is scared of him. Like Dave Tepper,
you are so clueless about how you're winning your team
right now. And not that Frank Reich is great. Okay,
don't don't. I'm not saying that Frank Wich's doing a
great job or did a great job, but you don't
fire a guy after eleven games when you have a
(24:05):
rookie quarterback and you're trying to figure out you're rebuild
your team, and you traded one of your best weapons
in the off season. Thank you Bears. But yeah, but
like this is not a plan, Like you're not following
through and executing a plan that's going to make the
team better. You're just getting back to step one, you know,
(24:28):
right away, because you're so dissatisfied and you feel like
you're embarrassed. And this is just a further indication, isn't it.
Like Tepper and all the things that he's done in
Carolina are just so willing, really and emotional, like walking
away from the people in rock Hill after they've built
a facility. Like if you're if you're a Panthers fan,
(24:50):
why would you trust this guy at any point?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
And so I'm just I'm just kind of stunned because
I thought when Tepper bought that team, you know, I
thought he had some ideas. I thought, you know, Okay,
this is a guy who you know, was part owner
of the Steelers. You know, probably learned a little bit
from the Rooneys, had a little patience, understood you know
what to do. Instead, he's just this guy who makes
(25:16):
snap decisions left and right that don't follow any kind
of purpose or plan. And he's you know, he's got
the sort of football acumen of Dan Snyder.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Would it be really brilliant of someone to take this
as a first job knowing you're going to get a
giant check eleven to fifteen games later and that no
other organization will take take it into an account, and
it would be like you never wear a head coach.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Oh absolutely, you know. There's there's all sorts of like
running backs coaches in this league or a lining up coming.
I'll take a shot. I'll go with it. Yeah, let me,
let me, let me add it. Let me I can
change your team around. I mean, Dave wants that probably
wants this job.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Jim tom Sulla is getting this job in place.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Oh my god, Tom Sulla, Tom Sulla versus one stet
in a matchup of Pittsburgh morons, Like just think, really,
that's like it, just get it. Doesn't get any dumber
in the coaching ranks than those two guys.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
So you know I got to because I really did
bring you down. I brought you down with the death
of the Pac twelve for this, for that, I really.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Really killed my buzz. I had the buzz going, and
you just it really yeah, it went to a dark place.
But you're asking me about Frank right to fred Rick's
a really really nice guy, Okay, and he gets off
by Tepper.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
It was a temper thing. And I think nothing against
Frank Reich, Yeah I got no.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Yeah, Frank Rice a Tepper. I just get really tired
of of NFL owners who you know, made you know,
they made their money doing something else and it became
really rich and they decided to buy a team. And
then it's like, well, I know football, No you don't,
(27:13):
You really really don't. You really don't understand how this
game is supposed to function, and you don't understand how
to turn things around. And you've now made you know,
you went out and got really excited about Matt Ruhle,
and then you got embarrassed. And then he went and
found a guy who actually knows some things about football
and who's trying to not get your you know, five
(27:36):
foot six quarterback killed in the first year, right, but
you took the five foot six quarterback who I think
can play a little bit, right, But he's he's small, right,
and Frank Reich was doing everything in the world he
could to make sure that that guy did not get
hit so many times that he would end up like
(27:56):
you know David Carr in Houston. Right, he's just trying
trying to make sure they's protected. For the first year.
You're going to endure some you know, some trouble here,
but build an offensive line slowly but surely, and then
get to the point where you can you can run
some normal offense and you know, build a team out
with a normal offense. Now, what he's probably going to
(28:18):
go do is go hire some guy who does like
spread for me. It's it'll be like, you know, somebody
hiring Kip Kelly all over again, you know, and not
understanding that, you know, spread offensive guys are a disaster
in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
He's on Twitter at Jason Coles sixty two, that is
at Jason glitter.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Happy mister happy God with people up with people guys.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
He'll be watching the play on a loop on YouTube
the rest of the night tonight because we talk about
the death of the twelve. Yeah, the play, you'll watch
the play. I mean, I know what happened against your team.
But it's the biggest play in college.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
It is, you know. And the best part about that
is that we call time out with eight seconds left.
And we're a math in science school. That's always my
favorite thing about that. Like we get we get into
field goal position and l Way like looks at the
sideline and the coaches panic and oh, no, we need
(29:24):
extra time in case we bobble the snap right on
the field. No, no, you just run the field goal.
And that's the way you do it. Not don't call
time out with eight seconds left, call it with three
seconds left. And my buddy Paul Heidenreich looks right at
me and goes, we're going to have to kick off.
Paul heidenright, who is doctor and by the way, he
(29:46):
is doctor Paul Heyden raight who works for the VA
Hospital in Palo Alto and at Stanford University. He's a scientist,
a real scientist, knew enough math to know you don't
call time out with eight second quest I can hear
Paul should have been coaching Stamford. If Paul Heidenreich had
(30:08):
been coaching Stamford that day, we win, right. Doctor Paul
Heyden cardiologist, famous cardiologist a great cardiologist, saved one of
my friends, okay, two of my friends as a matter
of fact.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Wow, So he's in the Hall of famous cardiologists, not
a hall of very good cardiologist.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Clearly hall of fame with cardiologist Paul Heidrig doctor.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
The music video of that is literally just Little John
and the kool Aid guy just dancing around a Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Oh yeah, just breaking through walls. I don't even think
there's that. Well, you have to. You can't have the
kool Aid man not breaking starts with them jumping through
the wall. But you gotta do it more than once.
Just on that's what the kool Aid guy does. No,
it's a signature move. It's like when Snoop Dogg says,
they say to me, Snoop, you quit smoking. That's like
your whole thing. Like that's the whole thing for the
kool aidak walls.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Jason, you can't do it more than once. The hole's
already there after one time.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
But there's four walls. Though you're in a room with
his four wall, you know there's four because most rooms
there are four walls. Maybe he's in an octagon because
if if you're not room with four walls, you're in
a shelter, that's three York. He could be live from
the shelter. Big play by the Huskies, a big first down.
They have the ball deep in Oregon territory. As we
(33:16):
go to the fourth quarter, they are now trailing. However,
as Oregon has taken the lead twenty four to twenty.
A huge third quarter for them, two unanswered touchdowns and
the Pac twelve has one quarter left until it dies.
One quarter left of the Pack twelve. I think Pennix
Junior goes to the bow and arrow move way too often.
(33:37):
Well that's his thing, the bowing app But you can't
do that every time you complete a damn pass. It
was a big pass, but he did that. Everybody going out.
If it's done, what do you want do you want
to do that? I want to do the something longer games,
the mocking Jay thing instead. Instead of that, you can
pretend like you're the kool Aid man yelling, oh yeah, drones.
(33:57):
Send the drones in with water. It's a good all right,
So Mike, we do it every week. We give you
our upset special picks in the NFL. Nothing changes. I'm
gonna give them to you right now. Here we go
thirteen and nine so far this season. Give me the
Packers show and a half over the Chiefs. Jordan Love
(34:22):
is kind of on his own mini heater. He's playing
really well. Green Bay is fantastic in December. Uh, they
will run the ball surprisingly enough to be effective as
good as Kansas City is. They're just missing something and
we'll get into later on in the show about the
fact that they didn't go out and get a wide
(34:43):
receiver the deadline when they really should have. But this
is one of those games where WHOA Green Bay is
gonna jump up and surprise you, and I'm gonna dig
the six and a half points. I like green Bay
in the field, but I'm still gonna take the six
and a half point. No, there you go, I dig that.
No Aaron Jones for this one. For what it's worth,
forty three is your total. I'm gonna go over to
(35:04):
and Frostburg is conveniently not an next to a microphone,
New England getting five and a half. No Bailey Zappi
over under thirty nine. Well, DJ maybe Zappi hour very
quickly for the Patriots on Sunday. Ramandre Stevenson that's his name.
(35:24):
That's again remember all of this because he is their
one weapon. And this is one that you just fully
expect Keenan Allen's banged up a little bit, gonna try
to go. This is one that I expect to go terribly.
They've been playing gamely, the defense has been coming on. Nope,
Zappi gets it done here. So the Patriots will be
(35:45):
like Michael Stipe, some shiny zappy people on Sunday after
the game. You know, I got a picture in my
head earlier of Berman that when he didn't have to
do all of those things, he was done with it.
He exhaled with his head hair and a jar, put
his feet up. TJ channeling the Partridge Family, Brandon Staley
(36:09):
will challenge his defense to come on get zappy on Sunday.
Come ONJ Coma, get zappy, you're an idiot and TJ
get zappy like a room without a roof, get Zappy.
(36:30):
There it is Mike, And now we got more upset
special picks and more drama from college football at the
latest on Oregon Washington and how Michigan can lose tomorrow
in the Big Ten Championship. That's next. This is Fox

Speaker 2 (00:59):
And yeah, win a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Hobbed in Jeremiah getting after it right now. I think
Jeremiah football. Yeah, but he could probably play quarterback for
Oregon in the second half. Oregon in a route. Mike,
Now listen, I got I gotta say, listen, here we are,
and I want, first of all, I want all of
you all to have some respect because the PAC twelve
(01:22):
dies tonight. I do like that. This is this is
PA twelve. This is the end of the PAC twelve. Okay,
that's like Texas and Southern expression. But we got it all, y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Jason, it was the end of the Pack twelve when
Larry Scott took over over.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
He walked in, he said, hey, you know what, We've
got some land in San Francisco. Yeah, but killed this
thing a long time ago, Buddy, Tonight is the actual
end though. It's the actual end the pack. The PAC
twelve dies tonight, So have some respect. And this game
so far, the PAC twelve championship game, which is likely
a winning in game. Just as I said all week long,
(01:59):
Washington in a route, I don't need the ten points.
Look at Washington, I said, look, watch what they're gonna
do to Oregon. Tell them you watching, They're not having
hit the wall, they're not running out of gas. Oregon's
living high on the hog. What did I tell you?
It was good at It's exactly how the game is going. Sure, Washington,
right off the jump, that field goal drive, and it
(02:21):
felt like a big air goes out of the balloon
kind of moment when they had to settle for the
field goal. Right, the long protracted drive to start fifteen plays,
goes fifty four yards, takes up half of the first quarter,
and oh, I gotta settle for a field goal. Hi victory, Oregon.
There you go, But here you go, Michael Pennick Junior,
(02:41):
right right as you came in, right as as Rob
and Chris were signing off. It was the first time
all night I'd seen anybody within like a giant halo
of Michael Pennix Junior. You want to talk about clean
Jersey club, Hey, let me just flip this ball down
the field kind of moment time after time after time.
That's what Washington's had tonight, clean Plocket club. It is
(03:04):
a twenty to ten lead for the Huskies. And yes,
I said all week long, Oregon in a route, I
still have the rest of the Pac twelve. You got
thirty minutes of existence to try to get this back. Now,
does it start crumbling like heinz Field did behind Hines
ward as running down towards zero. Let's look, look, I said, Oregon,
(03:28):
A route. I gotta own it, and right now it's
not happening. A boy, if you're getting ten with Washington,
you're feeling really good. Yeah, ridding the tea leaves though
all week long and you're looking at it all right,
Pennix Junior. A lot of questions as to whether he's
been injured these last couple of weeks. Right, hasn't moved
the same has hasn't had the same fluidity in his
throwing motion, like a lot of that has been hampered
(03:48):
and they've been eking out wins. So it's like, all right,
the year of living dangerously? When does it topple? They
picked tonight, They picked tonight to that, not tonight, we're
gonna close the PAC twelve. Tonight twelve is closed. I
want to hear the speech that was giving you know what.
We're going down in style. You know what, They'll never
add another name to the black of champions in this conference,
(04:10):
and I want ours to be at the bottom.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'll tell you we're never gonna watch USC lose another
game they shouldn't lose at night on a Saturday to
Oregon State. Never gonna the end of the PAC twelve
and Washington is closing the door. The Arizonas don't get
the screw things. No, Arizona's never gonna make the Rose
Bowl out of the back twelve. But look, the two
biggest things that surprised me so far in the first
(04:34):
half of this game. One you alluded to the first
part at Michael Pennix Junior has all day to throw, right,
He's got all day to throw, and when that happens,
you got some pretty good wide receivers that's going to go.
I'm stunned that they can't get more pressure on him.
I'm stunned about that for Oregon. And the other thing
is that it seems like it's close, right, it seems,
(04:55):
but one of the worst defensive pass interference calls you'll
ever see gay Oregon a first down that allowed them
to score a touchdown near the end of the half
to go in with some kind of momentum. It's an
awful pass interference call. You have the wide receiver the
dB just have hands on each other as they're running.
There's no one would know anything. The ball is overthrown
and it's an easy no call because nothing happened. Refs
(05:16):
through the flag that kept the drive alive for Oregon.
They go in for the touchdowns, so now they're in
striking distance. Now the pack Pack twelve is close. Pack
twelve is we have thirty minutes left. It's not a blowout.
Want people to watch till the end of the pack twelve.
Pack twelve is closing. We don't want people leaving early.
You're staying till the very end, very end tonight. So
those are the two biggest things. Is that it seems like, wow,
okay washing Oregon. It's you watch it had the better
(05:38):
of the play, but both these teams have electric offenses.
Oregon needed that play to not be going in a
halftime saying, man, we're two touchdowns, are worse behind, and
Washington is just working us. So I really, those are
the two biggest things surprised me so far in this game,
because by this point I expected Oregon to be up
by two touchdowns. I thought this this would be a
twenty four to seven game, twenty four to ten game
at halftime. And Oregon's off to the races in the second half. Yeah,
(06:01):
I mean, you've seen with bo Nix some time to
throw and receivers just not getting and breaking containments. As
we've seen on the other side, Washington finding space, scheming
it up to where you got Penis j you're throwing
to open air, right, I mean you've got the deep
ball that he hit down the left sideline. That was
(06:23):
one of those I got no pressure alright, and he
just lobbed it wide. Receiver gets behind the defender by
a good ten yards. Is he didn't get any help
and you saw the defenders do the Spider Man meme
in real time. Anyway, we go, right, a couple of
rushing efforts down in the red zone, so getting a
(06:43):
little bit of contribution there as well. They've moved the
ball well already one hundred and ninety six yards of
total offense. Only stunned a little bit. They've got their
four penalties for thirty yards. But we've got a game, right.
This is why you know with Oregon why they were
nine and a half point favorite. As you're expecting there's
an explosion to be had to happen, right, A couple
(07:05):
of series doesn't a full game make. And and look,
we may be apologizing for the pick again as the
second half wears on, but they did limit despite the
offense and prowess of Washington. You take some moral victories
in those field goals that you forced. Jason Smith Show
with Mike Carbon live from the Tirack dot Com studios.
(07:27):
So again we'll keep you updated on here and get
ready to start the third quarter. And look, most likely
this is a winning game. Obviously, if Washington wins, they
stay in probably for Oregon. If they win, they get
in the playoffs, and then yeah, we close the PAC twelve.
You think herbs is excited about this one this? Oh well,
he says, you know, the Thursday games don't compare to
his other game. Okay, so you know you just tried
(07:48):
to make sure he's excited. Friday game, the same thing,
a Friday PAC twelve championship game, same excitement as a
Saturday night game. That even was more excited him to
call the game people to see his dog that he
travels with you alone. Okay, well, okay, number one, it's
always the dog. Okay, number two, it's Ben. He has
a name. There's a lot. His name is Ben, He's
(08:12):
kirk k name is Ben Paulson.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Dude, that dog eats better than some humans. Okay, probably
eats better than I do. Dog stays five star hotels.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I just like when do you see the dog calling
the second half of this game, he's probably he's just
out of camera shot right now with the headset on,
just ready for the call. He's gonna draft the Patriots
next pick to He's gonna fight Belichick's dog for supremacy.
I mean, look, this is a big show to be
with us tonight because again tonight we are closing the
PAC twelve. The closed tonight, and I am glad. You
(08:45):
know what I'm glad about because I didn't know which
way it would be on this is that it's a
pretty good crowd at Reliant for the game. And you know,
I'm like, okay, well pretty much we talk about Pack
twelve championships. If it sticks in with we mean allegiant history,
allegian field, sorry, and it sticks in with recent history.
You know, there's only a couple thousand people at the
Back twelve Championship, but I'm glad to see there's a
lot of people tonight because they're going out with the
(09:08):
best season arguably the PAC twelve has had overall. When
you talk about how competitive they are and how good
they are, because you're talking about two teams who could
each make the playoff. Now the winner of this game
is going to get in. It's a pretty big deal
for the Pac twelve. Now close it out in style.
A couple of monster teams that can put up points,
a couple of Heisman candidates here bo Nicks was the
(09:31):
favorite before the game kicked off. I cursed him too, man,
I told you bow Nick is gonna win the Heisman.
He still has the second hand. No man, sit. He
tried to go to the deep ball because one of
the things they did is they deferred, you know, kind
of the opening coin toss and everything. So give up
the long drive in the field goal and everybody's mad
about it on social media. Well they scored that touchdown
(09:53):
and now they get the ball first coming out of
the half. So in theory, if you believe in a
thing such as momentum, perhaps they can build on how
they closed out the half. But yeah, it's the last
it's the last. Answers it, man. This halftime entertainment was
that damn tuition battle which wasn't a battle. Mohammed house.
That guy was a tuition to a PAC twelve school.
(10:15):
It was one hundred grand. Uh. It's yeah, that's all
you could. You know, they're closing the schools too. No, dude,
you know, no, the schools always be there. You know,
you can buy the Mountain West for one hundred grand,
you can get like eight you can buy the Mountain West.
You could know you might be able to buy the
last vestiges of whatever, uh, whatever the intellectual properties are
(10:35):
of the PAC twelve conference. What's left in the offices.
I got one hundred grand. But it's you know what,
when when you think about certain things, like your whole
life growing up a sports fan, and the PAC ten
and how great it was, and us and the Rose
Bowl was such a big the granddaddy of them all.
As me growing up in the Middlewest, I'm a big
ten homer, big ten hong. So every year it was
(10:57):
all right, who's gonna run past us? They're playing in
the Rose Bowls. And then you go through the eighties
and the USC and UCLA rivalry, and Washington wins half
of the national championship in nineteen ninety, and you know,
it's still SC UCLA in the nineties, and but then
you start see the rise Desert Swarm in Arizona, Arizona
State and Jake Plumber and then the USC dynasty in
(11:19):
the early two thousands, and then Larry Scott mismanaging the
conference for about a decade, and you know, and then
I get to the point where I go, boy, I
get to be on the air and talk about it.
I hope you had the time of your I'm that
ten year old kid and the eight year old kid
watching Charles White and the Rose Bowl in nineteen seventy nine.
And now I get to talk about the end of
(11:40):
the conference. He gets to blow it up at the
end like disco demolition. But you hit a button and
the conference is over. You know, I think I want
to get a statement by the winning coach that that
reminds me when when Syracuse closed Manley field House and
they went to the Carrier Dome. The last game they
played in Manley field House, and I'm going back aways
was against your Georgetown. They're big runs, you said, Manly,
(12:01):
Manly Man, Manly Field. That's the last man we got
Fran Brown. Now we're going undefeated. We're getting all George's players.
So the last game was against Georgetown, and Georgetown won.
And John Thompson, legendary Georgetown coach, comes in and first
thing he says, the press conferences Manly Field Houses closed right.
(12:23):
It was a huge deal. But Manly Field Houses Club,
we closed it right, big line. We beat So I
want the winning I want the winning coach. Well, you know,
whether it's you know where it's landing or debor to
come out and say, hey, the PAC twelve is closed,
and where the chance PAC twelve is closed? We close
its conference blank, U USC and U C l A
and I we closed this thing. Why next? Was there
(12:45):
a giant extension cord? You know?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Why?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Why is it connected there in the middle of the field.
And he goes and he just pulls the plug and
the lights go off and that's the end of it.
Either that or they get to introduce that Mark Davis
is bringing back John Gruden and they announced him like
a does the winner of this game get to play
the Raiders? You know, if Antonio Pierce is on the sideline,
you can ask him. They actually get to go right
(13:09):
to play for the Raiders, to make the Raiders better?
How about that? Yeah, Michael Pennings Junior bonicks, who who's
peers grabbing right off the field. They'll play them both
back and forth. They'll be like spurry or when he
would yank quarterbacks. You're in for this series. You're in
for this series. So right now, Oregon is taking the
ball to start the second half. They go for it
on fourth and five near midfield and they convert. Bo
(13:31):
Nicks just completed the pass inside the Washington twenty yard line.
Oregon is in business there now inside the ten, trailing
the Huskies twenty to ten. They get on the board
here with the touchdown. Suddenly we got a brand new game,
my ducks. My fourth down play was the same play
they ran I think maybe four or five plays earlier
in the drive and the receiver just didn't see the ball. Yeah,
(13:54):
like he finally broke away from the defender and the
balls landing it. Oh hey, I'm opening them up. Oh
the play's over his hand away. I'm ready. Oh he's open.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Live the tire
Rag dot Com Studios. An unbelievable throw by Bonicks on
fourth down, rolling right against his body, gets in the
end zone for Oregon, and now it's a twenty to
seventeen game. Oregon has come back to turn this into
a field goal game. Washington does have the football, though
(16:46):
big run gets him out to midfield. If you have
the over in this game, I feel pretty good. We'll
keep you updated on this throughout the rest of the
hour and the night, but joining us now in the
hotline to talk all the latest news in the NFL.
He is a longtime NFL insider. He's on Twitter at
(17:06):
Jason Cole sixty two. He is a Hall of Very
Good voter. It is Jason Cole, Jake Cole. What's happening, Bud.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
I'm just low to the music. I'm grooving, baby grew
man I am. I'm grooving. This is me, this is
my stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Man, Hey, are you with us?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Because being the proud Stanford a Lung that you are,
I mean, we get to close the door. The PAC
twelve dies tonight. We get to close the door in
the Pac twelve. I want to know if you're in
with us.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
We have a basketball season.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
No, but Pac twelve football closes tonight. It's a fun Okay,
we're closing.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It's closed.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
The doors are closing last time. We're locking it up
and throwing the key away.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Jacc Baby, here we go.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I will remember you.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
The biggest idiots in the history of the planet. Let
the greatest conference in the college degree just self destruct, moron.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Hey, that's conference of Champions. You're saying that God enable
to self destruct and be terrible.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
God. I'm so angry, but you just you just flipped
the switch. I was like in a good mood. I was,
you know, was proving a little bit. I was going
to make fun of you and say, yeah, you're sounding
like the modern Jimmy of the Greek. You know're talking
about your your at your your bets when they're happening
in real time. You know, Like I was going to
do a few things like that, But no, you had
(18:33):
to go to the end of the Pac twelve happening
in front of us right now and my team having
to play It's it's now great great rival Florida State.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Oh man, you'll get Pittsburgh College. Wait till all those
games come into You'll get Syracus. We have to play you.
It'll be awesome. I like that you brought us back
to nineteen ninety two. The Greek was in the eighties.
He was, Yeah, did he not even get to the nineties.
I forget what I was trying to give it him
(19:08):
an extra couple of years on the end day.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
No, my favorite on Jimmy is I still remember this
because I was just when I picked up on how
important gambling was and when he would have a really
bad morning and like he would you know, faith plant.
You know he's written to his into his palm right
there and he started talking about his bets and you're like,
what happened? I was going, we had a bad day. Yeah,
(19:30):
the morning wasn't so good. Had evidently evidently his inside
sources were not so strong going into the going into
those games.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, the final year for him was eighty eight when
he was fired. To think about how insane that was.
The NFL was so anti gambling for so long, but hey,
on a pregame show for a long we got that guy.
I had a professional gambler, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
The guy who is the guy who picked the the
upset between the Jets and the Colt.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Right.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
So, yeah, it's just that is a picture of him
in the morning. You know he'd be you know, he'd
just be so downtrodden if a couple of games went wrong.
It's just so great. The misery, the misery of Jimmy
the Greek getting games wrong. It's really a beautiful, beautiful
(20:20):
thing to remember.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Producers in the host here going, don't go to Jimmy
he's just mad. Don't go to him, don't get just finished.
He's already chasing, going to be any good?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Yeah, yeah, give us, give us more gumble, let's go
go away.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Well, in the spirit of that, we have two quarterbacks
who were going.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
To form more Burger more Munthburger.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Here CD, he's only gonna subtly allude to the gambling.
Hey we got we got Joe Flacco and Matthew Stafford
on Sunday. Weren't they in games in nineteen eighty eight
against each other? I think they go back that far.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
This rivalry, Hey Stafford against two?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Is it's Jeff Flaco?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Yeah, they were. That's that's a long time coming basically
for those two. Well, when I looked at the slate, though,
a slide from Flacco Stafford just dreamy. You know the
quarterback matchups we have, But there's only two games on
Sunday between teams with the winning records, and one of
them involves the Broncos. Like, you're like sitting here, going
(21:25):
that's not really a good slate of games that the
league is trying to sell this weekend, is it. That's
not what you really want to be associated with. Now,
one of those games is fabulous, but it's the only
game that's fabulous on this this coming weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
So how do you feel about that fabulous game?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Well, I love that. I love that fabulous game. I
do think the forty nine ers probably win it because
they're they're not you know, the rest is coming off
the by I think that it probably means more to
them than the Eagles at this point in time, because
the Eagles are you know, they've at least they put
a little distance between themselves and everybody else, and they're
(22:09):
so banged up right now that you get the feeling
that they might want to hold back a little bit.
You know, like if you really want to see Jordan
Davis tear that enormous hamstring off of his body, you know,
like something like that, you probably want to avoid that
and maybe get Dallas godd or you know healthy, that
kind of thing. Those would all those would all be
(22:29):
helpful things for you. And so, you know, and the
Eagles also have had a great run here over the
last five weeks, but there it's been a little bit
precarious at times. The Bill the Bills should have taken
him in that game.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Indeed, but finding ways to win that's what they're they're
doing here, the year of living dangerously. Let's sit out
of the game's for a moment, go to the fun
and excitement that is the Carolina Panthers and the firing
of Frank.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Right data Dapper, the courage of David Tepper that you
know to answer all questions except from Scott Fowler. It's
just a vision. You know, I've known Scott Feller. There's
no one more vicious like Steve Surby.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Got nothing on fo nothing nothing, yo.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Mean right now? Okay, you know Fowler's got you know,
like Foward couldn't be a nicer human being like they're
I guess, Sarah, can I ask you a question? Please?
That kind of thing, you know, really the anti New
York journalist, and that's why he's a journalist in Charlotte.
(23:43):
You know, you know, lots of Southern gentility going on there, right,
and Dave Tepper is scared of him. Like Dave Tepper,
you are so clueless about how you're winning your team
right now. And not that Frank Reich is great. Okay,
don't don't. I'm not saying that Frank Wich's doing a
great job or did a great job, but you don't
fire a guy after eleven games when you have a
(24:05):
rookie quarterback and you're trying to figure out you're rebuild
your team, and you traded one of your best weapons
in the off season. Thank you Bears. But yeah, but
like this is not a plan, Like you're not following
through and executing a plan that's going to make the
team better. You're just getting back to step one, you know,
(24:28):
right away, because you're so dissatisfied and you feel like
you're embarrassed. And this is just a further indication, isn't it.
Like Tepper and all the things that he's done in
Carolina are just so willing, really and emotional, like walking
away from the people in rock Hill after they've built
a facility. Like if you're if you're a Panthers fan,
(24:50):
why would you trust this guy at any point?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
And so I'm just I'm just kind of stunned because
I thought when Tepper bought that team, you know, I
thought he had some ideas. I thought, you know, Okay,
this is a guy who you know, was part owner
of the Steelers. You know, probably learned a little bit
from the Rooneys, had a little patience, understood you know
what to do. Instead, he's just this guy who makes
(25:16):
snap decisions left and right that don't follow any kind
of purpose or plan. And he's you know, he's got
the sort of football acumen of Dan Snyder.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Would it be really brilliant of someone to take this
as a first job knowing you're going to get a
giant check eleven to fifteen games later and that no
other organization will take take it into an account, and
it would be like you never wear a head coach.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Oh absolutely, you know. There's there's all sorts of like
running backs coaches in this league or a lining up coming.
I'll take a shot. I'll go with it. Yeah, let me,
let me, let me add it. Let me I can
change your team around. I mean, Dave wants that probably
wants this job.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Jim tom Sulla is getting this job in place.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Oh my god, Tom Sulla, Tom Sulla versus one stet
in a matchup of Pittsburgh morons, Like just think, really,
that's like it, just get it. Doesn't get any dumber
in the coaching ranks than those two guys.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
So you know I got to because I really did
bring you down. I brought you down with the death
of the Pac twelve for this, for that, I really.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Really killed my buzz. I had the buzz going, and
you just it really yeah, it went to a dark place.
But you're asking me about Frank right to fred Rick's
a really really nice guy, Okay, and he gets off
by Tepper.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
It was a temper thing. And I think nothing against
Frank Reich, Yeah I got no.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Yeah, Frank Rice a Tepper. I just get really tired
of of NFL owners who you know, made you know,
they made their money doing something else and it became
really rich and they decided to buy a team. And
then it's like, well, I know football, No you don't,
(27:13):
You really really don't. You really don't understand how this
game is supposed to function, and you don't understand how
to turn things around. And you've now made you know,
you went out and got really excited about Matt Ruhle,
and then you got embarrassed. And then he went and
found a guy who actually knows some things about football
and who's trying to not get your you know, five
(27:36):
foot six quarterback killed in the first year, right, but
you took the five foot six quarterback who I think
can play a little bit, right, But he's he's small, right,
and Frank Reich was doing everything in the world he
could to make sure that that guy did not get
hit so many times that he would end up like
(27:56):
you know David Carr in Houston. Right, he's just trying
trying to make sure they's protected. For the first year.
You're going to endure some you know, some trouble here,
but build an offensive line slowly but surely, and then
get to the point where you can you can run
some normal offense and you know, build a team out
with a normal offense. Now, what he's probably going to
(28:18):
go do is go hire some guy who does like
spread for me. It's it'll be like, you know, somebody
hiring Kip Kelly all over again, you know, and not
understanding that, you know, spread offensive guys are a disaster
in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
He's on Twitter at Jason Coles sixty two, that is
at Jason glitter.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Happy mister happy God with people up with people guys.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
He'll be watching the play on a loop on YouTube
the rest of the night tonight because we talk about
the death of the twelve. Yeah, the play, you'll watch
the play. I mean, I know what happened against your team.
But it's the biggest play in college.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
It is, you know. And the best part about that
is that we call time out with eight seconds left.
And we're a math in science school. That's always my
favorite thing about that. Like we get we get into
field goal position and l Way like looks at the
sideline and the coaches panic and oh, no, we need
(29:24):
extra time in case we bobble the snap right on
the field. No, no, you just run the field goal.
And that's the way you do it. Not don't call
time out with eight seconds left, call it with three
seconds left. And my buddy Paul Heidenreich looks right at
me and goes, we're going to have to kick off.
Paul heidenright, who is doctor and by the way, he
(29:46):
is doctor Paul Heyden raight who works for the VA
Hospital in Palo Alto and at Stanford University. He's a scientist,
a real scientist, knew enough math to know you don't
call time out with eight second quest I can hear
Paul should have been coaching Stamford. If Paul Heidenreich had
(30:08):
been coaching Stamford that day, we win, right. Doctor Paul
Heyden cardiologist, famous cardiologist a great cardiologist, saved one of
my friends, okay, two of my friends as a matter
of fact.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Wow, So he's in the Hall of famous cardiologists, not
a hall of very good cardiologist.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Clearly hall of fame with cardiologist Paul Heidrig doctor.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
The music video of that is literally just Little John
and the kool Aid guy just dancing around a Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Oh yeah, just breaking through walls. I don't even think
there's that. Well, you have to. You can't have the
kool Aid man not breaking starts with them jumping through
the wall. But you gotta do it more than once.
Just on that's what the kool Aid guy does. No,
it's a signature move. It's like when Snoop Dogg says,
they say to me, Snoop, you quit smoking. That's like
your whole thing. Like that's the whole thing for the
kool aidak walls.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Jason, you can't do it more than once. The hole's
already there after one time.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
But there's four walls. Though you're in a room with
his four wall, you know there's four because most rooms
there are four walls. Maybe he's in an octagon because
if if you're not room with four walls, you're in
a shelter, that's three York. He could be live from
the shelter. Big play by the Huskies, a big first down.
They have the ball deep in Oregon territory. As we
(33:16):
go to the fourth quarter, they are now trailing. However,
as Oregon has taken the lead twenty four to twenty.
A huge third quarter for them, two unanswered touchdowns and
the Pac twelve has one quarter left until it dies.
One quarter left of the Pack twelve. I think Pennix
Junior goes to the bow and arrow move way too often.
(33:37):
Well that's his thing, the bowing app But you can't
do that every time you complete a damn pass. It
was a big pass, but he did that. Everybody going out.
If it's done, what do you want do you want
to do that? I want to do the something longer games,
the mocking Jay thing instead. Instead of that, you can
pretend like you're the kool Aid man yelling, oh yeah, drones.
(33:57):
Send the drones in with water. It's a good all right,
So Mike, we do it every week. We give you
our upset special picks in the NFL. Nothing changes. I'm
gonna give them to you right now. Here we go
thirteen and nine so far this season. Give me the
Packers show and a half over the Chiefs. Jordan Love
(34:22):
is kind of on his own mini heater. He's playing
really well. Green Bay is fantastic in December. Uh, they
will run the ball surprisingly enough to be effective as
good as Kansas City is. They're just missing something and
we'll get into later on in the show about the
fact that they didn't go out and get a wide
(34:43):
receiver the deadline when they really should have. But this
is one of those games where WHOA Green Bay is
gonna jump up and surprise you, and I'm gonna dig
the six and a half points. I like green Bay
in the field, but I'm still gonna take the six
and a half point. No, there you go, I dig that.
No Aaron Jones for this one. For what it's worth,
forty three is your total. I'm gonna go over to
(35:04):
and Frostburg is conveniently not an next to a microphone,
New England getting five and a half. No Bailey Zappi
over under thirty nine. Well, DJ maybe Zappi hour very
quickly for the Patriots on Sunday. Ramandre Stevenson that's his name.
(35:24):
That's again remember all of this because he is their
one weapon. And this is one that you just fully
expect Keenan Allen's banged up a little bit, gonna try
to go. This is one that I expect to go terribly.
They've been playing gamely, the defense has been coming on. Nope,
Zappi gets it done here. So the Patriots will be
(35:45):
like Michael Stipe, some shiny zappy people on Sunday after
the game. You know, I got a picture in my
head earlier of Berman that when he didn't have to
do all of those things, he was done with it.
He exhaled with his head hair and a jar, put
his feet up. TJ channeling the Partridge Family, Brandon Staley
(36:09):
will challenge his defense to come on get zappy on Sunday.
Come ONJ Coma, get zappy, you're an idiot and TJ
get zappy like a room without a roof, get Zappy.
(36:30):
There it is Mike, And now we got more upset
special picks and more drama from college football at the
latest on Oregon Washington and how Michigan can lose tomorrow
in the Big Ten Championship. That's next. This is Fox
Sports Radio.
